He settled into a $17.5 million Park Avenue duplex and started popping up at Metropolitan Opera soirees and in the gossip pages.

Verger's people know that Lecter, for complex reasons buried in his own psychoses, wants either to kill Starling or to protect her or, possibly, madman that he is, to protect her by killing her, and they hit upon a way to use her as bait to draw him to his presumed doom...
